 I am trying code Jeff Copper's 5-day Momentum method buy. Here is my first attempt:
 
 Stochastic(10,5,3) %K < 20
 +DI(14) is above -DI(14)
 adx(14,14) > 35
 
 Is this correct ?
 
 Thanks,
 
 BP

 You may want to add a line to include only the 50+ dollar stocks when going long and the 40+ dollar stocks when shorting.  I know that is what Jeff recomends for safety.  If you want to look at the stocks to short you need to  reverse your filter so ADX- is above ADX+.  Anyway just my suggestion.  Good Luck with your filter.
 
 Also, you may want to add a watchlist like the IBD 100, or stocks with RS above 94 from IBD or something like that.

 i am also trying to write a momentum filter, this is from dave landrys book.for shorts just reverse it. I would like to have the filter check for close from 4 days to seven days. anyone have any other ideas. maybe above 200ma.? clean it up?
 
 Show stocks where high reached a new 2 month  high
 and Average Volume(90) is above 50000
 and close is between 10 and 250
 and adx(14)above 30
 and +di(14) above -di(14)
 and Close has been decreasing over the last 4 days

 jhar, I think you may have misunderstood Landry's filter.  I would think that it would be rather difficult to find stocks that today have declined in price for four days and also just made a two month high.  Let's try this:

 max, I forgot to mention that this is for a simple pullback. It looks for 3  but not more than 7 consecutives lower highs. goes long 1/16 above todays high,    i,m still not sure how to write the line.3  but not more than 7 consecutives lower highs.
 thanks for the help with this filter.
